System update borked due to Lzma library error/need advice [FIXED]

It seems that my glibc update was bad and now my system is throwing error I can't fix.  I do not know how to recover from this.

$ sudo pacman -Syu

Can you downgrade glibc and filesystem from the ARM and repeat?

It still gives me conflicting file errors and the news items say to not to force it.

I believe that refers to the new update, since you are restoring a previous state, I don't think it matters... you can try to force it or wait for someone with more experience with these things to post.  I would force it, but I have pretty robust backups.  Your call.

Re: System update borked due to Lzma library error/need advice [FIXED]

Downgrading with forcing worked and my update was successful. What would cause those errors? Why didn't pacman fail the package if it was broken before it tried to install the package?

Glad it worked for you.  I have no idea why the package failed the integrity check.  Maybe Allan or falconindy will see this thread and comment?

It passed the integrity check, so the download is fine.   I'd be running memcheck....

Thank you graysky and allan. The memtest fails within 20 seconds. Time to RMA the memory.
